Mudaliar Mahesh Margoni
YCN representative from the Chile Ceramic Society
Fondecyt Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Advanced Materials Laboratory (AMLab), Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Chile
I have completed the Masters of Science (M.Sc.) in Physics obtained degree in 2014. Later in 2014, selected as a Ph.D. candidate under the supervision of Prof. K. Ramamurthi, Department of Physics, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. In connection to this, I have completed the Doctorate Degree entitled "Investigations on vanadium oxide and fluorine doped vanadium oxide films deposited by spray pyrolysis method and hydrothermally grown V2O5 films and MWCNT/V2O5 composite films for electrochromic applications” in Physics (2019).
The current research in Postdoctoral Research Fellow working under the supervision of Dr. Ali Akbari-Fakhrabadi, Associate Professor, Advanced Materials Laboratory (AMLab), Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Chile, Chile. The current project is intended to explore trimetallic cobalt (Co) based spinel oxide electrocatalyst with special emphasis on design and synthesis for application as fuel cell. The pace of innovation is to develop carbon supported hybrid trimetallic Co based spinel oxide electrocatalyst and investigate the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for fuel cell application.

Interface Engineering: High-Temperature Interactions Between High-Entropy Ceramics and Metals.
My research explores high-temperature interactions between high-entropy ceramics (HECs) and metals, with a focus on joining strategies for extreme environments. By understanding how metals wet and react with these advanced ceramics, I aim to design reliable interfaces for applications such as composites, coatings, and ceramic joining with functional properties. This work contributes to improving the performance and durability of materials used in demanding industries such as energy, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing.
